Vancouver Farmers Markets

Farmer's Markets are a great way to get fresh locally grown food into the consumers hands. Large cities like Vancouver benefit because Farmer's Markets connect growers and consumers first hand.

So often when consumers buy food from a supermarket little thought is given to where the food was grown or how it was grown. At a Farmer's Market people can talk with the grower and  feel confident that the product they are buying is healthy.  Shopping at a Farmer's Market totally endorses the concept of Eat Fresh and Eat Local. You reduce green house gases by reduced shipping of the product and you encourage the local economy. A win win situation.

Local Farmer's Markets include Trout Lake, Steveston, Kitsilano, West End, Main Street Station and Granville Island.
